Can Peppermint Drops Replace Your Need for Caffeine? | Dina Rogonja

ARK of Sweden co-founder Dina Rogonja joins Ryan Alford and Chris Hansen for a conversation about breathwork, peppermint oil, natural energy, and making wellness less complicated. Dina explains how her search for a simple performance tool led to ARK Drops and a broader mission to help people reconnect with their breathing.

Ryan and Chris examine why stopping to breathe can feel unproductive to ambitious people, even though presence and recovery can improve focus, training, and everyday performance. Dina also shares the entrepreneurial story behind ARK of Sweden, including the mistakes that shaped its launch, building the company without outside investors, and reaching a massive audience through approachable wellness content.

Together, they explore how breath, energy, intimacy, and mental clarity can become part of a practical daily wellness routine.
